Update: The claim has been made
Friday morning I took the Tundra in to the dealer along with a few pages from the forum to show other reported failures. Concord Toyota was not aware of the tailgate failures and will be getting back to me about how the claim will be handled. I hope to hear from them early next week.

While I was there I looked at several new truck tailgates on the lot and didn't see one that looked like it might be any stronger than mine. I was looking for evidence of spot welds or beads of welds.

Do any of you have specifics of what to look for or what I might see when looking at an improved or stronger tailgate?
